FEAsy:A Sketch-based Interface Integrating Structural Analysis In Early Design
Proceedings of the ASME 2009 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference IDETC/CIE 2009 August 30 - September 2, 2009, San Diego, CA, USA
Abstract: The potential advantages of freehand sketches have been widely recognized and exploited in many fields especially in engineering design and analysis. This is mainly because the freehand sketches are an efficient and natural way...
A Framework for evaluating wikis as a medium for communication within engineering design teams
Published in IDETC/CIE 2009. 31 Aug - 2 Sept. 2009,San Diego, CA, USA
Abstract: Wikis, freely editable collections of web pages, exhibit potential for a flexible documentation and communication tool for collaborative design tasks as well as support for team design thinking early in the design process. The...
Survey of Wikis as a Design Support Tool
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED'09), Vol. 6, Design Methods and Tools, Pages 211-222
Abstract: The use of design notebooks has long been common practice for engineers and designers. Wikis, freely editable collections of web sites, are becoming increasingly popular as flexible documentation and communication tools for collaborative...
